    NEW RIG: 2012 F-150 FX4

    If you think it's the slip yoke, it'll be faster to clean and relube it yourself than to go to the dealer and wait. It's very easy; quicker than an oil change. There is a lightweight Motorcraft Teflon lube the dealerships use, but I used brake grease and it's been working great. Transfer case...

    You'll probably need to reset the sensors. You can enter a TPMS reset mode and go around with a speaker magnet or something similar to each wheel. If the procedure isn't in the manual, it's definitely published on the internet.

    Storing Tire in Truck Bed

    Here's another example of what you're trying to do: You may want to look into reinforcing the bedsides or transferring load to the floor, since that seems like a lot of weight shifting from side to side.

    NEW RIG: 2012 F-150 FX4

    Those are the second wheel types of the first gen raptor... the second gen Raptor isn't even out yet, it's a 2017 model. There are three wheel types for the first gen, the almost all black/grey the Raptor debuted with, then the ones above, and finally the beadlock capable ones (they come with...

    I was ghetto and just squeezed the crap out of my connections with pliers =( I guess it's just asking it to fail at some point.

    Wiring

    It shouldnt be an issue, as the relay just opens/closes a connection based on the energy from a different circuit. It doesn't connect the two circuits.

    2003 F150 screw build thread......FINALLY!

    I just cut two holes in my F150 bumper last weekend. I had trimmed some plastic pieces here and there, but never took a grinder to one of my vehicles before :Wow1: I will wire flush mount lights this Friday.

    2017 TRD Pro Tacoma

    If the Raptors and Power Wagons are $50k, I would think they would price the Tacomas just below that.

    building vs buying HID driving lights...

    I don't think these have any dimming capabilities, but they fit the size you are looking for: http://www.bajadesigns.com/products/hid-lighting/fuego-hid-lights I've got some "wide cornering" LEDs mounted low and angled out slightly and it really helps me see around corners when driving down...

    Another thought is if you recalibrated the truck when you added the bigger tires? If not then your speedometer is reading a slower speed than you are actually traveling. This means you would get worse mileage than you would expect at the speed you think you are going due to wind resistance, as...

    A big factor is how fast you are driving. If I was to go 55mph, I'm sure I'd get 16 or 17 mpg... but if I'm going 80 then it drops down to about 13.
